Impressed With 105VR I received my 105VR last week, and although I have not had time to do anything profound with it, I have been experimenting and am suitably impressed. The only slight negative is that the focus sometimes overshoots, and runs around in circles, but I am sure that I will get to grips with that as I get to know the lens. IMO the lens will be quite good as a portraiture lens, even though it is a little long on a DX camera.

As there was no EXIF data I'm guessing the shot was taken pretty much wide open using the eyes as the focus point. Am I correct? I also find 105 a little long for some indoor shots, but that length works well outside.

That worked well, but it removed the EXIF. I can't remember offhand what it was, and I don't have the original with me now, but I will post later with the information. I think that I will buy either the NeatImage or the Noise Ninja plug-in, in order to avoid this sort of problem and to have quality and seamless noise reduction. I like this lens, if I had bought this first I would have skipped the 85/1.4 and saved some money. Oh well, now I'll just have to use both and make sure that I get my value for money. IMO this lens will be great for travel with a TC1.7. A nice travel kit would be 17-55DX, 105VR & TC1.7. -- http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19158830 |

Nikon 105mm Vr Micro and extender Gentlemen, Here is a specific question. I would like to buy a 1.4 extender for my Nikkor Micro 105 VR. Nikon says the Nikon TC-14E II is compatible with this new macro lens. Fine, it is around $ 400. I used to use a Kenko 1.4 extender with my 100 mm Tokina AT-X macro a while back. It worked great, the images were of good quality. Tokina and Kenko optics are of good design and made with fine optical glass supplied by Hoya Co. It extendeed the focal length of the 100 mm lens while retained the closest focusing distance. The result was greater magnification or better working distance. So, based on this experience I checked out what is available from Kenko these days. B&H sells the new Kenko 1.5x DG AF converter for less than $ 90. The question is: has any of you tried the new Kenko 1.5x DG AF converter with this new Nikkor 105 VR Micro? How does it fair in comparison with the TC-14 E II ? Both extenders are of 5 element MC design. Nikon says that the TC-14E II retains AE and VR functions with the 105 VR lens. Although, as we know, VR function greatly loses its effectiveness in close range. However, whatever VR effect remains for hand-held shots is a welcomed help. I wonder if the Kenko 1.5x DG retains the compatibility with the VR function? I assume it does, since it has electric contacts to communicate with the camera. Anyway, I'd like to hear about your practical experience with the Kenko 1.5x DG converter, especially in connection with the new Micro Nikkor VR. Best regards, http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19175292Re: Nikon 105mm Vr Micro and extender I have tried the Nikon TC17E II with the 105VR and it works beautifully. FYI, I bought the "Import" gray market version of the TC from B&H as it saved me $70+tax and there just isn't that much to go wrong with the thing. B&H also sells an Import version of the TC 14E II which will save you a few $$. I;ve *heard* and *read* great things about the more expensive Kenko 300 Pro series TCs which are priced in-between the cheaper Kenkos and the Nikon TCs. HTH. -- Cheers, http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19176663 |

105 VR macro of caterpillar Using my new 105 VR Caught this guy crawling up my pant leg. Placed it on a branch and shot. Had some real trouble focusing. Though the caterpillar was in the center of the viewfinder, the lens kept focusing passed the bug andout into the distance. It took a bit of work to get it to focus on the subject. Anyone experience this? Any suggestions on how to focus on small items like this? Should I be using manual focus? Thanks -- http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19195905 |
